The Wild West - Tom Lehrer

Along the trail you’ll find me lopin'

Where the spaces are wide open

In the land of the old A.E.C.

Yee-hoo!

Where the scenery’s attractive

And the air is radioactive

Oh, the Wild West is where I wanna be

'Mid the sagebrush and the cactus

I’ll watch the fellows practice

Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze

I’ll have on my sombrero

And of course I’ll wear a pair o'

Levis over my lead B.V.D.'s

I will leave the city’s rush

Leave the fancy and the plush

Leave the snow and leave the slush

And the crowds

I will seek the desert’s hush

Where the scenery is lush

How I long to see the mush-

Room clouds

'Mid the yuccas and the thistles

I’ll watch the guided missiles

While the old F.B.I.

watches me

Yee-hoo!

Yes, I’ll soon make my appearance

(Soon as I can get my clearance)

'Cause the Wild West is where I wanna be
